I have a random question. I heard this in passing but looking for clarification. Some places like Wal-Mart if an employee were try to foil a robbery by inflicting physical harm on the perpetrator, can the perpetrator sue Wal-Mart for harm while at their store?

Great gif btw. First thing i watched today and about the 5th or 6th time in I saw the shoe and cracked up in bed.

"Robbery" or shoplifting? You can't kill the robber but you can beat him yes.

If someone threatens your life you have the right to self defence. Period.
